O'Keefe: Trump asked me to get Obamas college records

Conservative filmmaker James O'Keefe claims in a forthcoming book that President Trump asked him to "get inside" Columbia University and obtain a copy of former President Barack Obama's college records.

O'Keefe writes in his book "American Pravda: My Fight for Truth in the Era of Fake News," that Trump "suspected Obama had presented himself as a foreign student on application materials to ease his way into New York's Columbia University, maybe even Harvard too, and perhaps picked up a few scholarships along the way," according to The Daily Caller, which first reported on the section of the book.

O'Keefe said he told Trump that the request did not fall into his line of work, but Trump reportedly continued to ask the conservative activist to find the sealed records at the university.

The Hill has reached out to the White House for comment.

No way in his twisted mind could Barack Obama be smarter or better-educated on his own merits.

Just another brick in his white supremacist foundation.
